Join me in my one level fully modernized three bedroom home in Benicia.
It is nestled into the hills overlooking the Carquinez Straits in a very quiet safe neighborhood yet convenient for the local shops and supermarket and freeway on ramps.

Your bedroom has the best view in the house.! It is a large spacious room with a comfy queen size bed. There is also a single bed in the computer room. A sliding door leads out into the garden .Just down the hallway is your own bathroom , which has recently updated. You can rent the whole house which has 3 bedrooms and accommodates 5 people. Please ask me about renting the whole house or look up "View across the Straits" for pricing and availability
You have access to the whole house. You can watch TV or lounge in the sunroom,or sip wine on the overhanging deck.
I will be available if needed and can help with any inquiries you might have about restaurants shops etc in the area. I also am widely travelled having come here from the UK originally.
It is a very pleasant neighborhood nestled into the hills yet very convenient for the shops, restaurants, hiking and biking trails and access to freeways. The freeways can take you to all the the other interesting sites around the Bay Area.
There is a bus that can take you to the BART station, but having a car would be very useful to get to the ferry to San Francisco, or take a trip up to Napa or a trip to the ocean or a 2 1/2 hour journey to lake Tahoe
Where ever you are going Benicia is a MUST stop on the way there, and once here you may not want to go any further.
The whole house.
It is my home so naturally you are invited to come and chat and hang out with me but you also are able to be by yourself and relax and do your own thing in my home. If you want to rent the whole house this can be arranged

My neighborhood is away from the hustle and bustle on a nice quiet street yet a 2 minute walk to the Southampton Shopping Center .
Take your car to First Street Benicia,(5 minutes away) and stroll through the antiques shops, stopping at the many bars and restaurants.
There are public buses that can take you over the bridge to the BART station, or the main train line in Martinez, but to be honest most people use their cars.
Our bridges have tolls; $5 (you only have to pay one way)
My dog Charlie will be around and he just loves guests , and all guests really seem to like having him around also!

We stayed at Helen's place for only one night, but it's a good place to stay longer. Helen is very hospitable person, she showed us the whole place, which is much bigger than just one room. The view from the sun room and outside terrace is wonderful. Helen also left us tea and bagels for breakfast. And you'd probably love Charlie, the dog, he is very cute and friendly.

TatianaSeptember 2015

Lovely, comfortable place! Helen and her dog were very friendly, and I was thrilled to spend a bit of time in the hot tub.

ElizabethOctober 2014

Helen was the perfect host. Her home is very charming with a nice sunroom. Her place is close to many cute little shops in the area in Benicia. Our room was very clean and had a gorgeous view in the back. The bathroom was very clean too with modern facilities. Helen was very welcoming by leaving detailed instructions about her home when we arrived before her. She was easy to get in touch with. Her dog Charlie is very loveable and was clearly well trained as he only barked very rarely. We stayed only 2 nights but wished we could have stayed longer at Helen's. This was the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in. The perfect Place to stay if you want to be away from the city and enjoy a quiet and calm place to rest.

KrisOctober 2016

We really had a great time at Helen's house! Helen's beautiful retreat was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. She was a fabulous host and we loved chatting with her while playing ball with Charlie. The house itself is in an ideal location to relax while a 30 min drive will land you in downtown Napa. We only wished we had more time to spend there. We look forward to staying with Helen and her ever so happy and adorable Charlie again :)

MaceySeptember 2014

What a lovely and restful time for 2 moms. Helen's oasis in Benicia was "just perfect" for our needs…and then some! Location is close to our son's school (Cal Maritime), peaceful, clean and beautifully appointed. Rare is the occasion that pictures of a location exceed your expectations, yet Helen's Room with a View did just that. We arrived weary guests, and departed energized friends. We will be back to stay & visit Helen and the ultra-adorable Charlie. Thank you Helen for all your hospitality, and your lovely spirit.

KimberlyOctober 2014

Helen was so welcoming and great to talk with and share life stories...just wish we had more time and better weather to enjoy her view! Thanks so much for making us feel comfortable!

MickieJanuary 2016

This was the highlight of all our B&B stays this trip. I almost don't want to write a review because I don't want everyone to know about this gem. But I should... This is a wonderful house, very clean and nice. Helen is a very accommodating host with impeccable taste. Her decor won all our hearts- it's homely and soothing while being delightfully eclectic and tells stories about her travels and cultures she has seen and been influenced by. The room is open airy and bright with a generous view of the bay and hills. The garden is home to many birds. Charlie is a very well behaved dog, an entertainer and lovely companion. We arrived a little late and due to some miscommunication had to meet one of my relatives much later in the evening and by then the Starbucks had closed. Helen was gracious enough to let us meet with our family in her home! I have no words to describe how grateful I am. Overall highly recommended. I would take the 8 hr flight from Cambridge only to stay here again! - that good.

My place is close to nightlife including an array of restaurants and bars, the city center, parks, downtown pier, and public transportation. Located in the heart of Benicia's downtown area, you'll never run out of things to do! You’ll love my place because of the views, the location, the outdoor space, and the ambiance. My place is great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and furry friends (pets).
***Entire house will be available between 12/20/2016-12/27/2016***

JacobNovember 2016

From the second I walked into the house, Brandon was very warm and welcoming. This was my first solo Airbnb experience and I don't think I could have asked for a better host! Brandon was very accomodating to my needs and replied promptly to my messages. The view from the back of the house was so serene. I would highly recommend staying here. Thanks again for everything Brandon and Morgan!

BrittneyNovember 2016

I had a great stay at Brandon's place. The place was clean, and had a beautiful view. He and his roommate were very kind, and gave me a few rides which I very much appreciate. I recommend this host.

HannahOctober 2016

Brandon was awesome ! Room was clean , house was clean, he was very cool &I I will definitely be utilizing his room again ! Beautiful view of the water & he gave us keys to our room so we could lock up our belongings. I felt very comfortable there .

JennOctober 2016

Although Brandon was not there during my stay he was very accommodating and responsive. This is a good stop in Vallejo, with an even better view ...

AnnaNovember 2016

My brothers and I had a great first airbnb experience staying at Brandon's house. He was really accommodating & even helped us get to our rental car in town. The room was comfy & warm and the view from the back was spectacular! Not to mention the TV in the room had an endless list of channels to sift through at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend for those wanting to day trip up to Napa Valley.

KristianNovember 2016

Great stay with Phyllis! She is so sweet, accommodating, and a great host. The bed was very comfortable, the whole house was clean, and she left out some breakfast and coffee every morning. Would highly recommend staying with her!

KaitlynAugust 2016

Phyllis is a wonderful host and a joy to be around. She really went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and everything was to our liking. When we arrived, she put on the kettle and sat down with us in the shared living area for a cup of tea, during which she gave us the details on her home and Benicia. The next morning, she walked us part way downtown to show us how to get to the public access path along the water. It was really nice to be walking distance from downtown. The bed was very comfortable with quality linens. We loved the eclectic character of her home. Bohemian is a great description. We really enjoyed sitting out on the front porch drinking our tea and the fresh squeezed orange juice that greeted us each morning! It was also a treat to love on her pooches!

DianneSeptember 2016

I have officially found my "Home away from Home"! I love this place, first of all because of Phyllis, a very warm and welcoming hostess, I felt immediately at home. Secondly, the home is cute, cozy and comfy, and in a great neighborhood just a few blocks from a very vibrant "Mainstreet" downtown area! I slept like a baby in the extremely comfortable bed and loved sharing the kitchen, bathroom and occasionally, the sitting room, where we had coffee and fruit in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Thank you, Phyllis, for all of the above plus wonderful conversations and snuggles with a dog or two....I will be back soon!!

NancyJune 2016

Phyllis was an amazing host! She was easy to communicate with and so friendly! Our stay was mainly for work but she made us feel so welcome! we had great conversations and she even walked me half way to downtown so i didn't get lost! We had plenty of parking for our large Ford Transit van and the two twin bed set up was perfect for what we needed! She was so kind to have breakfast and coffee ready for us before we went to work on our early days, we appreciated it so much! I would highly recommend Phyllis as your host for small or large visits!

BrittanySeptember 2016

Phyllis was a great host. We felt quite welcome upon our arrival. She was most accommodating. She knows how to be around but not too much so. Also, we appreciated the continental breakfast she made for us the next morning - it's not typical to get fresh squeezed orange juice at an Airbnb! Phyllis is quite familiar with the town and it's history. She has trained her dogs very well and they are a delight. What a bargain!

PennJuly 2016

This place is awesome! The interior is beautiful, and it really feels like you are away for the weekend. Phyllis is so welcoming and helpful, and she even stood outside with a flashlight at night when we arrived late! We absolutely loved the breakfast, and she is so respectful and nice :) She always made sure that everything was okay. We also absolutely loved her little dogs, and we wished that we could play more with them!

BrendaSeptember 2016

A hidden gem! Fantastic, romantic place by the sea. Only 3 minutes walk along the shores. There's a great variety of restaurants and pubs within scenic walking distance. Grocery store within 5 minutes walk. Phyllis takes pride of being a great host. She specially prepared a table complete with snack buffett to the freshly squeezed orange juice from her own orange tree. She's very friendly and hospitable and consistently made us feel welcome. Her house is a Victorian period and tastefully and stylishly decorated. The bed is so comfortable I was able to take a nap in the afternoon which I never able to do in anyone's home except mine. The room has high ceiling, spacious and there's plenty of furnished storage and hanging hooks for our luggage. Nice shower/bathtub in a modern clean bathroom. Well equipped kitchen.The stunning garden is arranged in several distinct areas suitable for relaxation. The front yard with porch is a lovely place for sitting and dining. The back garden shaded with pear,orange and lemon tree has a barbecue area. There's also a designated parking in the back house. overall her house is situated near the sea and in quite neighborhood. I highly recommend her place and will definitely stay here whenever in the area.

Our home is a gem! We are located right along the Carquinez Straight near the San Pablo Bay. Our home is spacious and luxurious with a down to earth welcoming and peaceful energy. Our guest room and bathroom are private, upscale, and comfortable.

We had an amazing time staying in Benicia at Kareesa's house. She and her boyfriend are consummate hosts that will make your stay both warm and relaxing. Their house looks like new and is well appointed with the nicest of amenities, including Apple TV, a high-end granite and stainless kitchen and beautifully updated bathrooms. The best things besides convivial conversation, are the gorgeous views from the back patio. The lovely home is situated on a city park overlooking the entire Waterway. There is a playground within sight for those that want a place for children to play nearby, but the views of the Straits of Carquinez are just magnificent. You will want to spend all your time on the patio. Our hosts provided lovely little snacks, fruit, and delicious coffee. We were able to take a nap in the middle of the day without it bothering anyone. We truly felt at home and cannot wait to return. We look forward to seeing Kareesa and Magdeh again and enjoying their wonderful hospitality. You will not be disappointed.

JulieMay 2016

We had an amazing time, We will never forget it. Kareesa and her partner was really welcoming and helping us to find the important attractions in the city. The house was nice and clean located in front of the bay which give us a great time to enjoy our Coffee in the morning and see the beautiful sunrise. They provide us a continental breakfast,so we don't have to spend money in the restaurant

GhaidaaMay 2016

Perfect location, accomodations very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying there if you have an opportunity to do that. Karessa and Meghdad were very gracious and welcoming. Provided light breakfast choices too. I would definitely stay with them again.

DianneJune 2016

Really nice room, house and people !!

AbelOctober 2016

This was the best Airbnb experience I've ever had. Kareesa made me feel welcome from the first moment I arrived. The bedroom and bathroom were immaculately clean. The bed was very comfortable, the room had lovely light, and the shower had two shower heads!!! It was luxurious! Kareesa provided coffee and various breakfast items in the mornings. I spent time out on the patio, drinking coffee, and writing. The wifi works great inside and outside! The view was beautiful, overlooking the park, the water and the bridge. I cannot wait to get to stay in Benicia again. Easy street parking for my car. Safe and quiet neighborhood. I'd highly recommend staying at Kareesa's place. It was absolutely wonderful. She's a warm and caring hostess.

VirginiaAugust 2016

Both Kareesa and Meghdad were Awesome! They opened up their home and made us feel right at home. The house was amazing right of the water with a great view. Couldn't of ask for a better weekend. This was our first time using Airbnb. If everyone are like Kareesa and Meghdad, all use nothing but.

RudyJuly 2016

Kareesa was an amazing host. We were new to the area and she went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, at home and also helped us a lot to figure out how to get around town. This truly improved our trip and made our stay enjoyable. The property was beautiful and the neighborhood was quiet, safe and honestly very relaxing to take a walk. The room was gorgeous and it exceeded my expectations. This was the first time I ever used airbnb and I will keep this host in mind for my next trip to California.

SamanthaJune 2016

We throughly enjoyed our stay with Kareesa and Meghdad while in Benicia. They are warm, welcoming, and easy to communicate with people. Our room was comfortable, the bathroom immaculate, the house and its patio lovely, and the view indescribably beautiful. We especially appreciated the provided light breakfast (tea, coffee, cereal, and fruit) which we enjoyed while watching tug boats and kayaks ply the bay. The neighborhood felt safe, and we loved our walk into downtown through the quiet surrounding streets. The house is centrally located, perfect for exploring the Bay Area. We easily drove to Vallejo and rode the Ferry into San Francisco for the day, returning in the evening. We highly recommend Benicia Gem!

Water in every direction!!
We are just steps from the water and Ninth Street Park, with a sandy beach, boat launch, sand volleyball courts and a kids play area. Your room is in a quiet 3 bedroom, 3 story, custom built dream home at the waters edge!!

My stay was wonderful! I was only in town for a couple of nights to run an event for work. Brooke is an excellent hostess...not only a "home away from home" but a temporary "mom-like" presence. She made sure I had coffee to start the day and snacks to take to the event I was running so I could keep my energy up. So sweet. The bed is super cozy and the TV is massive. There's a wonderful view of the water from upstairs and it's a short walk to the beach for fantastic views. I had breakfast downtown (only like 2 miles away) - it was nice that their house is so close to everything. If my work ever brings me back to the area, I will definitely reserve my spot here. Thank you!!

HeatherMay 2016

Our stay was perfect. Chrissy met us on arrival and showed us around. The room and bed was beautiful and comfortable and we were given run of the house including the balcony with a view of the bay.

BrianSeptember 2015

My sister and I spent 3 nights in the Coral Sea room. This was our second stay in one of Chrissy's rooms. It is located in her parent's house directly across the street from Chrissy. The room and house are beautifully decorated with an unbeatable view of the Carquinez Straits, the Carquinez Bridge, and the green hills across the straits. The house had two balconies and several sitting and eating areas giving us many options for eating, reading, and just hanging out. Chrissy gave us a tour, made sure we had breakfast makings, and checked in with us to assure all was okay. We enjoyed meeting her mother and stepfather, both very interesting and friendly people. If you stay here, please give yourself time to explore the 9th Street beach area and walk along the bay to downtown Benicia a mile away.

CarlaApril 2016

This house would have to have the best view in Benicia! I really enjoyed the view and atmosphere from the balcony and it feels very open indoors with all the large windows. The sound of signing birds while watching the sunset set the pace for a magical evening. The whole house is very modern, clean and well designed. I wanted to stay again next month although it's already booked. I can see why, what a great place! I'll be sure to stay here again, very soon.

BryceSeptember 2015

Was not able to meet Chrissy who was responsive and easy to work with. Did connect with her mother and father who were super sweet. Really appreciated how warm and accommodating they both were. Loved the house! Comfortable, clean and just what we were looking for. Will stay here again...

CarmelitaApril 2016

Upon arrival Chrissy orientated me with the Sea Coral room. I found this location absolutely wonderful given proximity to work. Rest is huge for me and this house provided all the tranquil space and comfort for me. Thus, I stayed for an extended period of time. Easy access to Napa and Benicia center were a huge plus for food options. Communication with Chrissy was straight and simple. When PG&E and issues I was made aware and the hosts are prepared. I was never really in the dark. I highly recommend this room for anyone passing through for short or extended stay. My busy long hours were never an issue. This was a very welcomed considering my unorthodox work schedule.

AshikeMarch 2016

We had a great stay! Beautiful room, super comfy bed. Since I have family near by this is a great option for us to be close to them but still have our own space. Would reccomend the room!

Our cozy sanctuary stays comfortably cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The welcoming decor will charm your spirit. There's plenty of space to spread out and enjoy yourself.
The apartment has a full kitchen (minus a stove), washer/dryer, and TV/DVD with plenty of entertaining videos. The bedroom is set up for two people, and the living room contains a small memory foam couch/double futon that's perfect for one or two additional people who don't mind being cozy together. There is a full bath, stocked with soaps, shampoos, and a blow dryer. If you're not out exploring, it's the perfect place for rest and relaxation. We just added a downstairs deck with a barbeque and table and chairs and a separate, semi-private area with a hot tub! The weather is usually perfect for an evening soak. You are also welcome to venture to the upstairs deck to enjoy the beautiful view of the water. And if we are already there (which we often are), please join us!
We love to meet our guests over some hors d'oeuvres or a glass of wine whenever possible. We will certainly make the effort to get to know you if time permits. We both work regular typical hours, but most evenings one or both of us are present to help you with whatever you may need.
Or, if you want privacy, we are happy to let you enjoy your stay without unnecessary disturbance.

Our neighborhood is the perfect blend of safe and quiet with close proximity to downtown. It is rich with nice walks and great views. The waterfront is a short 15 minute stroll through the historic and welcoming downtown.
If you are coming by car, there is plenty of free street parking. The City of Benicia and Solano County provide inexpensive public buses for travel in and around the area. The bus stop is a short walk away. The nearby Vallejo Ferry is an excellent way to get into San Francisco from here. There is also a train in and out of Martinez, which is just across the Carquinez Straits. The nearest BART stations are Concord or Walnut Creek. If we happen to be coming through the area, we may be able to pick you up from the train or BART station.
There are many wonderful sites to explore in the North Bay. In addition to nearby San Francisco and wineries, there is great local music and art, hiking, and bicycling. The Cities of Benicia and Vallejo host many fun community activities year round. There are tennis courts, yoga studios, community pools, and paddle sports for those who crave physical activities.
Our apartment is a one bedroom apartment best suited for two people. However, we can accommodate up to two additional people on the futon in the living room. We charge an additional $25 per person after the first two people per night. The additional person charge is also added to weekly and monthly rates.

Sheri's place in Benecia was the perfect landing spot for our recent trip to the Bay area. We drove down from Bellingham, WA (100 mi N of Seattle) and delivered our son to California Maritime Academy in Vallejo. We thought he'd be moving onto the ship which is his dorm right away but he ended up staying the 2 nights with us. Sheri and George made us all welcome and were flexible with accommodations as well as time arrival. They were excellent communicators and their apartment is wonderful. There's a private entrance and plenty of room for all 3 of us. The location is ideal…easy to walk down to the waterfront and stroll the many shops and restaurants as well as convenient to drive to other parts of the Bay area. We were sharing a vehicle so when our son had it we were perfectly happy to get around by foot. George provided an extension cord for our son to use for his X Box which he had brought along and also was quick to rescue me when I accidentally locked myself in (!) the apartment (don't ask how I managed that - I really don't know.) I am really glad to have discovered this listing and would highly recommend it to others.

MarySeptember 2014

The place was perfect felt like home. Sheri n George made me feel welcome from the beginning. Would have stayed longer but there place was already booked after my stay. Absolutely perfect view. Highly recommend to everyone.

EugeneSeptember 2015

Super convenient place to stay close to downtown.

LeslieAugust 2015

Sheri and George were great and really friendly. They made us feel welcome, they gave us a tour of their property which was nice. The apartment was clean and spacious, the property is kept well, and the neighborhood was clean, calm and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and we are very appreciative of their hospitality and their generosity of our special occasion. Hope to be back soon!!

JosephOctober 2016

Hosts Sheri and George were friendly and helpful. The home is quiet but with a great, close location on a hilly spot above the main Benecia town center with easy walking to the food store. The room stayed nice and cool even though the weather was hot!

Sheri (and George) made us feel very welcome. They were superb hosts (and new friends) and we thoroughly enjoyed living in their private apartment. The apartment is walkable to the delightful downtown of Benicia. We explored every nook and cranny of town. Additionally, it is close to wine country, East Bay, or an easy day trip into the city. We can't wait to come back!

Nancy and BarryMarch 2016

Sheri's home was a welcomed respite for us during a rather hectic weekend in the Bay area. The apartment was cozy and had every amenity we needed, even coffee for the morning! The space is well appointed and there are wonderful books and movies for those who have time to relax and enjoy. The location is perfect, it's easy to find off street parking and it is nice and quiet. The view is beautiful. If we come to the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to book with Sheri!

Dina was a great host she met us at the house when we arrived and told us everything we needed to know, she kept in touch through our stay and was a great host. We hope to see her again in the future

The host canceled this reservation 27 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Benicia's best kept secret in the Bay Area. Clean easy to deal with, love the area. Lots to do to keep busy. Dina is easy to deal with house is spacious and comfortable

VincentSeptember 2016

Although we did not get to meet Dina in person, all her instructions were clear as to gaining entry to the house and where we were to park. The house was spacious and spotlessly clean. The beds were extremely comfortable and were outfitted in good-quality linens and comforters. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and within walking distance of everything in downtown Benicia. With three good-size bedrooms and plenty of living space, Dina's house is a great value. We look forward to staying there on future visits to Benicia.

Great mid-point between Sacrament and San Francisco. 10min drive to Ferry, 20min drive to Napa.
You'll have your own bedroom with attached private bathroom. No animals please. There's no smoking allowed anywhere in the entire complex. Your room comes equipped with a mini fridge and freezer, microwave & tv.

Several guests have likened it to a nicer hotel room with the amenities and privacy.
I have supplied a mini fridge and microwave in your room for your use while staying here so please refrain from using the kitchen.
I am usually pretty quick about responding and keep the place easy to navigate. I am happy to recommend restaurants and things to do.

There is a grocery store and shopping center just up the street. The other direction leads you to a State Park with awesome water views. Downtown Benicia is about a 6 minute drive.
Please be mindful of the real wood furniture and use coasters :)

Megan's place is an excellent deal! Even though it's a room and not an apartment, it's basically like a little hotel suite, bedroom and bathroom totally separate from the main apartment. Easy check in and out, good communication, easy parking, good internet...definitely recommended if you're looking to be in SF without spending too much.

LindsaySeptember 2016

Great!

deborahOctober 2016

I didn't get to meet Megan in person, but she was really helpful and welcoming. The place was cozy and very clean with great view of the bay. And Benicia was a charming city to walk around and relax. I highly recommend Megan's place to stay. Thanks

MahoSeptember 2016

Great room, very easy check in, felt like a hotel. very clean and well organized. we would stay again for sure.

YamitOctober 2016

Megan was a great host, excellent communication up to and during our stay and she gave us helpful tips of what to do and where to park etc. Her place was better than we could have hoped for, a clean and modern, yet homely apartment. It was a perfect escape place, peaceful and relaxing and only about an hour drive away from the amazing city San Francisco with the added bonus of a spa and pool. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks Megan

2 Queen bedrooms and 2 private bathrooms in a gorgeous updated apartment in Glen Cove, between Vallejo and Benicia. Make coffee while you gaze out over the Carquinez, then catch the ferry to SF, drive out to Napa, or just settle in to check email at the kitchen table.

The carpeted bedrooms each include a Stearns & Foster queen bed, nightstands, and closet space, though of course, I use part of the closet for my own storage too. The private bathroom is 3-piece, with a stand-up shower. The en suite to the master bedroom has a shower/ tub combo. The cozy living room, dining room, and kitchen boast great views.
You'll have access to the entire apartment: kitchen, dining room, living room, and patio have amazing views of the Carquinez. Benicia State Recreation Area is steps away. This space will be best for a couple or foursome coming into town for work or for a weekend exploring wine country :)
I'll ensure you have space in the fridge; Safeway is on your way in to the neighborhood if you want to pick something up. I'll offer assorted teas (including black tea) and a French press, but no promises on coffee as I don't drink it myself. Essentially, if a hotel normally provides you something, I'll probably have it for you too, but just ask if there's something you're wondering about.
My cat will negotiate his own relationship with you, and I ask that you keep the bedroom doors open when you're away from the apartment, so he can keep up his usual routine of sleeping under the bed all day :)

If you're a walker or runner who loves the views, this place is for you. Glen Cove is a quiet suburb of Vallejo. The apartment is a gem on the edge of Glen Cove, surrounded by the Carquinez Straights and Benicia State Recreation Area, with Vallejo and Benicia within 10 minutes. Drive to Oakland in 40 mins, Napa in 30 mins, downtown Vallejo for the farmer's market and ferry terminal in 12 mins, downtown Benicia for the tea room or Thai food in 5 mins. Walk for miles of beautiful views and overlooks right out the front door of the apartment :)
You'll definitely need Uber or a car to stay here and there's free parking. Vallejo ferry terminal is 12 mins away and the ferry ride is so lovely. Park and BART from Concord or Martinez stations. The region is very bikeable if you're good with hills. Benicia is 10 minutes away by car, or 15 on foot if you're a runner (trails through Benicia State Rec Area).
Folks will pet allergies will have a hard time at my home as I also host 2 permanent residents, rescue pets Roscoe the kitty and Buster Bluth the tiny dog. Roscoe is indoor only, so I'll appreciate your care keeping the doors closed tight and ensuring that the screen in your window is secure (and let me know if for some reason it isn't).

The views of the river activities at sunset are awesome, so are the wild turkeys on the front lawn.... Paula is a wonderful host, her apartment is spacious, very comfortable and close to downtown Vallejo. Loads of sunshine. Would highly recommend.

The tranquility and quaintness of our hillside location.
The views of the Straight, Zampo bridge, neighboring parkland!
Close access to I 80
10 minute drive from Vallejo Ferry
Complimentary wine w cheese, crackers, and fresh fruit at check in.
Coffee making facility included.

This in-law unit is nestled in a beautiful, hill-side community in Crockett, *just* South of the Carquinez toll bridge ($5 north-bound only), and is everything, and MORE, than the pictures can show. Upon arriving, it is quite apparent that Angela takes great pride in offering the most gracious hospitality she can provide. She provided a fridge stocked with a few items for coffee, as well as a few gourmet snacks. The french press was a welcome sight from a standard drip coffee maker. The bed was very soft and the variety of pillows were outstanding. Something for both of us. The porch provided a gorgeous view of the crockett waterway, and is perfect for sitting out on in the early morning with a cup of tea or coffee. Very peaceful. The closet is located inside the bathroom, on the left as you walk in, FYI. The shower had great water flow, and the linens were bleach-fresh. My favorite! The TV package they have is quite extensive and we enjoyed watching a couple of free movies while we wound-down from our day. The neighborhood is very quiet, and we felt very safe. We stayed there to be close to Napa, and it was very convenient, indeed. It was 32 minutes (at 9:30am on a Saturday) to the center of downtown napa, and our destination, the napa wine train. Angela had some great recommendations for the surrounding areas, including Napa. The stairs going up to the in-law unit have shifted over the years, and are NOT "unsafe", but just a little on the steep side for those who may have bad knees (me!), backs, etc, just take extra time, or a helping hand when traversing them. Bottom-Line: Angela goes out of her way to be a gracious, accommodating, attentive host, and provides the best hospitality to you without being intrusive. We will come back for our next trip to napa. Peace. 3

SarahOctober 2016

We love Angela's home. She was a fantastic host and provided and comfortable and well-appointed space. We cannot wait to stay here again! Five stars!

AmandaOctober 2016

The host was very gracious, providing a bottle of wine and fruit. The location was extremely relaxing, would definitely consider another stay.

JohnAugust 2016

Angela was amazing ! She was very welcoming and very polite. Her place was beautiful and extremely peaceful. It was my first time using airbnb , and she made it super easy for us. Thank you Angela . I highly recommend her place.

Yovan October 2016

Our hosts reached out prior to arrival several times, offering great insights into planning a Napa valley trip, and visiting the SF and Bay area (and recommending some great restaurants!). Extremely welcoming and ceaselessly accommodating! We found a wine bottle (and assorted other goodies such as cheese, crackers, coffee, tea, biscuits, etc) upon arrival, and a binder full of useful tips for visiting the area. The room (with private bathroom/shower, and kitchenette) is very clean, and very private (and the setting and decor very quaint; just beautiful). Angela is very responsive (reachable via phone/txt) in a timely fashion, if you have a question or require something. Our hosts respected our privacy, never at all being intrusive/imposing. The stay here was seamlessly stress-free, and thoroughly enjoyable. You get to step out and enjoy any part of the day in a roofed patio quiet space with lots of light, and a gorgeous view. The location is ideal for visiting Napa (25-30mins by car), any location on the east side of the Bay (20-30mins to Albany, Berkeley, etc), and venturing out to SF (the Ferry ride from Vallejo is highly recommended). Would gladly stay here again, and recommend it highly to anyone thinking of visiting the area.

GerasimosAugust 2016

This is our second stay at Prelude and it was just as wonderful as the first time! Angels's place is clean, comfortable, and has plenty of amenities. Private but Angela is just a call or text away for anything. Inside is the most comfortable bed ever and there's the entryway to sit and enjoy the outdoors, this place is wonderful!

JustineSeptember 2016

The "Prelude to the Wine Country" room was just perfect for my husband and I. It was a very convenient location for visiting family. I'm familiar with Crockett and the area is very safe, peaceful with a beautiful view. I really like having a kitchentte available for convenience and this one included a full size fridge. You can't see it in the pics, but there is a decent size closet to store your travel paraphernalia. This location is situated off to the side of the owners home, but they are not only busy & gone a lot, but it kept it quiet also. There was always convenient parking available to us on a dead end street next to their home. Even though Angela was gone working when we arrived, she left a nice bouquet, fruit, bottle of wine and a nice greeting card(along with directions to retrieve the key). She did come to meet us personally and was very warm and engaging. She was also available by phone or text. By the way, I did share with her we're friendly, but like our privacy. She was very accommodating. It was a very nice stay and would re-book again.

SuzanneJuly 2016

Very nice airbnb, tiny and cozy. Upon arrival there was wine, crackers and fruit and Angela was very helpful the entire time up to the trip and throughout. I loved my weekend in Crockett :)

We really enjoyed our stay at the Benicia House. The house was perfect in size and location for our trip destinations: Benicia, Napa Valley, San Fran, and Six Flags. The house was clean and well equipped with a wonderful yard. The Host was also very gracious to allow a special request we had to stage my nephew's groomsmen prior to his wedding. We would love to come back and explore more of downtown Benicia.

MikeJuly 2016

It's a perfect stay in Dennis's house. The location is great with mountain view. Room is nice and clean on ground floor with easy access bathroom. Hosts are so kind and adviced good places for breakfast, seeing nearby. I will have stay next time if seeing SFO, Napa, and bay area.

I much appreciated being able to make my reservation on the same day as my arrival time. My hosts were positive, upbeat and welcoming people. The neighborhood was very quiet. I also appreciated their flexibility with my check out time. It was nice to be able to relax into the afternoon in this country setting. I am usually more of a cat person than a dog person, and I thought their dogs were awesome! The house was very quiet except for dinner time, yet I had ear plugs so that was not an issue. This is quite an upscale place for a very reasonable price!

History of Glen Cove Marina
In the mid 1800s, ship traffic from San Francisco to the California Delta increased dramatically due to the discovery of Gold at Sutter’s Mill and the construction of the Navy’s first base on the West Coast on Mare Island. The first lighthouse to mark the entrance to Carquinez Strait was built in 1873. Not long after constructing the Mare Island Lighthouse, the Lighthouse Board realized that a beacon positioned offshore near the junction of Carquinez Strait and the Napa River would better serve navigation in the area.
In 1907, Congress appropriated $50,000 for a small light and fog signal at Carquinez Strait. Starting in 1908, hundreds of wooden piles were driven into the strait’s muddy bottom to create a long pier extending out into the water over a mile from Carquinez Heights. At the very end of the pier, a dock and causeway led to a platform which supported the lighthouse. Completed in 1909, the spacious 28-room, 3 story dwelling had a veranda which wrapped around the northern side. It housed 3 keepers and their families.
The red light from a fixed, fourth order Fresnel lens first shone in 1910, and the nearby Mare Island Lighthouse was discontinued 7 years later. The Carquinez Strait Lighthouse served until 1951 when it was replaced by a smaller automated beacon and fog signal. Four years later the lighthouse was offered for sale.
The building was purchased in 1955 and moved to it’s current location in Elliot Cove, next to Glen Cove, where the docks you see today were built around it. Intended to be named, Lighthouse Harbor, the marina eventually became Glen Cove Marina.
Sadly, the tower and lantern were destroyed during the move, but most of the building remains intact. The marina office and cafe are located on the veranda, which has been enclosed with giant windows, so visitors can still admire the views of the marina and Carquinez Strait.
Carquinez Strait Lighthouse was one of a chain of thirteen stations that started at the entrance to San Francisco Bay (Point Bonita) and ended at Roe Island in Suisun Bay.Of the seventeen original lighthouse buildings, only three others remain in existence: the St. Francis Yacht Club on Tinsley Island, the East Brothers lighthouse in San Pablo Bay (now a bed and breakfast establishment), and the Oakland Harbor Light (now Quinn’s Lighthouse, a restaurant and bar).
Glen Cove Marina’s “white Victorian house” was originally built as a twenty-eight room residency as part of the Carquinez Strait Lighthouse and Life Saving Station, which was located at the entrance to the deep water channel leading to Mare Island and the Napa River. First occupied on January 15, 1910, the lighthouse was one of a chain of seventeen stations that started at the entrance to San Francisco Bay (Point Bonita) and ended at Roe Island in Suisun Bay.
In 1955, the U.S. Coast Guard automated the light and fog horn mechanisms, and the main building of the Carquinez Strait Lighthouse was sold to a private party who, in 1957, moved the building by barge up the Strait to its present position at Elliot Cove, overlooking the scenic marina.
Of the seventeen original lighthouse buildings, only two others remain in existence: the St. Francis Yacht Club on Tinsley Island, and the East Brothers lighthouse in San Pablo Bay (now a bed and breakfast establishment).

Great host!! Nice clean friendly house! Matt is very helpful and well organised. Very patient with our daughters! Fully recommended!!! Very nice experience.

Matt was extremely helpful, I absolutely loved staying with him. He was a true God send on my journey.

BriannaFebruary 2016

Matt was great. Beautiful house and very welcoming. He actually if anything under sold how beautiful the house was. It provided a great view of the city and the inside was clean and stylish. We were greeted with a cold beer and some time talking outside. Our room was comfortable, had everything we needed and then some. Matt had put together a basket of toothbrushes, soap and toothpaste. We had nice clean towels (that were still warm) We spent a lot of time talking to Matt and his roommates and we very much enjoyed getting to know them. What a great place. Thanks!!

Justin September 2014

Matt was a great host, although if you're looking to visit San Francisco, it's a bit out of the way. If you're looking to stay in Vallego to head to Sacramento or Lake Tahoe, it's in the perfect spot!

NadineAugust 2016

Matt was/is a great host! He was not very hospitable and I enjoyed my time there. Would definitely recommend and stay there again if I'm back in the area.

VanettaAugust 2016

Matt is very welcoming and helpful. He made me feel like home and I was free to use almost everything. There is Safeway and several restaurants nearby. Price is reasonable and good for a month or two stay. It's a bit far from San Francisco, but if you drive or don't need to commute everyday it should not be a problem.

HuanhuanNovember 2014

This apartment is unbelievably clean, quiet, and beautiful! My girlfriend and I were going to a very fancy wedding in Napa. We needed to find affordable accommodations in the area. This place couldn't have been any better. In all honesty, it was much nicer than the $500 a night hotel rooms in Napa. The bed is extremely comfortable. The view is gorgeous The apartment itself is spotless. The TV, wifi, bathroom, kitchenette, etc were all fantastic! (as advertised). The hospitality, the view, and the price tag made this place unbeatable!

We had great time to stay in this beautiful house. Everything is perfect; enjoyed the view at the deck. Wish we could have more time to stay longer. Thank you Patrick and Sahm for such wonderful experience. Look forward to coming back

You can tell Patrick and Sahm really enjoy being hosts of this wonderful house. They are such kind people and they are always there if you have a question or you just want to chat. The rooms are nicely decorated, we had plenty of space and everything was clean. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, there's also lots of brochures and maps for all the things to see in the area. The view from the backyard is amazing! This place is definitely not just to spend the night, but to live and relax!

Beautiful home on the water in a very safe neighborhood. Less than 30 miles to Napa's famous wine country and 36 miles to San Francisco. Travel to SF by Ferry or BART. Flat screen TV and Music in room. Breakfast

This is a beautiful custom home built in 2010. The bedroom has everything brand new bought just for the airbnb. Flat screen TV and wired in Music system in room.
Access to hot tub, bbq grill, kitchen and downstairs living area
I'm very familiar with San Francisco, Napa, Yosemite and Lake Tahoe and can answer any questions or recommend places to see.

Benicia is a very safe and charming town with a lot of history. This was the last stop of the Pony Express during the Gold Rush. Downtown has antique shops, glass blowers, and restaurants. (Check out First Street) Close to both SF and Napa Valley. Our house is on the water. Kayaks are here to use. Biking or walking around this quaint town is also nice.
Public transportation (Benicia Breeze) is available to take you to BART and the Ferry Terminal. You can either take BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) or the Ferry boat to get to San Fransisco.
This home is shared with my family, including my children. The guest room is very private in the front of the house. We have 2 indoor / outdoor cats and a miniature dog.

Great hosts, great location, nice neighborhood, tastefully appointed house, spacious shower. We made three reservations for our week long trip west and two got cancelled by the hosts. Thanks lord Teresa took us in. Thanks a ton. if we come back next time, hope Teresa would take us back -:).

This place was nice and comfortable, it felt like there was a little bit of a lack in communication, otherwise fine for our need.

We did not have the chance to meet Teresa but if she and her family are like their house...We have lost the chance to meet a lovely family. The house is very clean, sophisticated in a very comfortable way. The view is breathtaking and we had the chance to see one of the most beautiful sunset of the Bay. Benicia does not offer a lot but it is close to Napa (which is really expensive) and it was perfectly located on our way to Yosemite. Recommended!

Very nice area, the weather that week end was great

This is the first time that my girlfriend and I have stayed in just a room rather than a entire home or apartment before and it was just as good! Although Teresa wasn't around until Saturday evening, her husband Lance was there to welcome us and show us where we would be staying. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom down the hall was amazing. Their house sits on a bay with a park outside so we were able to go outback as much as we wanted to walk around or just enjoy the air. Overall, this stay was great and if in the area again we would definitely book.

Best Location and View in Benicia! The house was beautiful inside and outside. It was the best place to make life decisions.
